Fodor's Expert Review Antiquarius
$$$$
Ipanema and Leblon
Portuguese
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This pricey but much-loved establishment is famous for its flawless rendering of Portuguese classics, including many cod and lobster dishes. Expect an Old World experience thanks to the antique furniture, soft lighting, and the same waiters who have been serving the generously sized dishes for the past 40 years.
